You might not say that if you saw the average SNP voter.

I have to agree with Churchill when he said "“The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”

No one has ever called me "sweet" before by the way?

Even older members might remember the two wise-cracking crows that appeared a few times in Huckleberry Hound cartoons. I think they were called Ziggy and Iggy.



Not at all topical so apologies - back to the subject...

If that had been my cat. (30 lbs and quick) they would have been dead crows in short order !

They say if you see a rook, all on its own, it's a crow. And if you see lots of crows, all together, then they are rooks!

Holy moly! Anthony Joshua BEATS Wladimir Klitschko!!! The noise is deafening and at least three times Joshua was out on his feet and somehow he has come back and beaten Wladimir when it looked or sounded as though he was going to lose either on points or by a knockout! Phew! I am drained and I was only listening on the radio Incredible bout and what a fighter Anthony Joshua has become-a great heavyweight champion and unifies the IBF, WBA Super and IBO Heavyweight titles.

Saw fight. Young man lasted longer than the old man. A 10 round fight and it would have been far different result.

I'd kick him in the balls and run away.
